Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appellate court partially overturned the first-instance judgment regarding the defendant K. S. (1), who was convicted of assault. The court found that the defendant's actions constituted an insult rather than physical assault, leading to a conviction under Article 216 of the Criminal Code instead of Article 157. Consequently, the sentence was reduced from 210 daily fine units to 100, and the court dismissed the charges of physical assault against two other victims due to insufficient evidence.
